Funded using £18.6 million from the Cambridge and Peterborough Combined Authority, the station includes a footbridge, cycle parking, and a 50-vehicle car park.

As Soham station is to have just one platform. Is there plans to build a 2nd platform for Greater Anglia trains coming from Ipswich via Bury St. Edmunds towards Ely and Peterborough. And to double track the line between Kennett and Ely if that gets the approval.

Horden station was built in a year and now Network Rail appears to be performing the same feat at Soham. Let's hope that this will become the norm for a new simple station.

I hope they will reopen the Chippenham junction west link to allow trains to run to Cambridge, then forward to London etc. would make more sense

The plans to double the track from Ely to Soham are currently on hold. Unfortunately though I don't think the Chippenham curve will be re-instated, as wished for by the previous Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, as Network Rail do not own the land....
